Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Wylam I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wylam suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am selling a house in Monmouth but reside in Wylam. My conveyancer (approximately 200 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Wylam to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Wylam based
